“State of European Tech – The future is invented in Europe” report will be presented in Brussels by CEPS
- Tom Wehmeier, Principal & Head of Research at Atomico, wrote the 2016 report which was published at the Slush conference in Helsinki in November
- Startup Europe will highlight the importance of evidence based policy making on startups policy
- This presentation would take place under the frame of the StartUp Europe Awards initiative
One of the most comprehensive reports regarding the current state of the tech scene in Europe will be presented in an event hosted and organised by the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) on January 31st.
An excellent opportunity to highlight the importance of evidence based policy making on startups policythat will benefit the European institutions work towards startups with validated data.
Commissioned and produced by Atomico, a European-based global venture capital firm, in partnership with Slush, the organisers of the Slush technology conference in Helsinki, Finland, the report outlines three key trends underlying the growing influence and success of the European technology industry:
- Deep tech is thriving and diversifying in Europe: 2016 was a bumper year with $88B in deep tech M&A; more US and Asian tech giants buying up European deep tech companies and tapping into a growing deep tech talent pool.
- New tech hubs are emerging across Europe beyond the existing order of London, Berlin, and Stockholm. The report suggests that Munich, Zurich, Lisbon, Madrid, and Copenhagen will be ones to watch over the coming years. Paris is starting to seriously challenge London and Berlin in number of VC-financed deals and deal volume.
- Traditional industries are awakening to tech: two thirds of Europe’s largest corporates by market cap have made a direct investment in tech companies while one third has acquired a tech company since the beginning of 2015.
This is the second year in a row that Slush and Atomico have produced their data-driven look inside the European tech ecosystem, with this year’s report including data from LinkedIn, Meetup, Stack Overflow, Dealroom.co, and the London Stock Exchange.
The presentation of the report “State of European Tech – The future is invented in Europe” is hosted and organised by the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) leading think tank and forum for debate on EU affairs, with the support of Finnova Foundation and StartUp Europe (DG CONNECT), under the frame of StartUp Europe Awards.
StartUp Europe Awards (www.startupeuropeawards.com) is promoted by the European Commission and supported by the President of the Committee of the Regions, several members of the European Parliament as Ambassadors and it is implemented by Finnova Foundation in collaboration with Startup Europe.
The objectives of StartUp Europe Awards (SEUA) are to identify local role models in each ecosystem of startups across Europe and to create an alliance of organizations supporting innovation and entrepreneurship.

“La Comisión Europea crea un mapa que conecta a todos los actores del emprendimiento”
“La Comisión Europea ha lanzado Startup Europe Map, una iniciativa que aspira a conectar al conjunto de actores relacionados con el emprendimiento en el ámbito europeo. Explica el organismo comunitario que Europa “brinda un panorama muy interesante para las startups”, pero recuerda que la colaboración y conexión entre todos los actores implicados es “crucial para crear un entorno competitivo”.
Advierte la Comisión que el marco europeo hay “mucho talento”, pero su dispersión ocasiona que en no pocas ocasiones sea “complicado” para los emprendedores desarrollar su idea por falta de conexiones con otros actores que puedan colaborar en el proceso de creación y desarrollo de una startup.
El programa Startup Europe es una iniciativa de la Comisión Europea que tiene como misión fortalecer el entorno referido a las startups dentro de la Unión Europea a través de diferentes proyectos y eventos. En su seno, el Startup Europe Map es uno de sus proyectos y tiene como objetivo la conexión de todos los actores como startups, inversores, aceleradoras, incubadoras, universidades, administraciones públicas y espacios de co-working a través de toda Europa.
Lo hace, entre otras razones, por que la colaboración resulta enriquecedora para todos los actores implicados, ayuda a los inversores a encontrar oportunidades y a las startups a encontrar apoyo para desarrollar sus proyectos, promueve las buenas prácticas empresariales y la transparencia y entiende que la creación de startups y su desarrollo genera riqueza económica y trae consigo nuevos puestos de trabajo.
Agrega la Comisión que la creación de un ecosistema conectado en Europa es una ventaja competitiva para crecer como potencia en innovación y para ayudar a la internacionalización de las startups en otros lugares como África, India o Estados Unidos donde el proyecto persigue continuar.”

Startup Europe Comes to Silicon Valley 2016- What Happened!
In this video you can see a taster of what happened at SEC2SV, 2016 edition!
On 12-20 September 2016, SEC2SV, under the Startup Europe initiative, took EU policy makers (commissioners, prime ministers), the best of new EU Scaleups and corporations across the Atlantic to meet Silicon Valley stakeholders.
The goal of SECSV is to create honest and direct policy and business dialogue between both continents. This will help startups to scale up beyond their borders on both sides of the Atlantic, and create economically impactful and long lasting ecosystems where innovation can flourish.
Created and organised by Mind the Bridge, and co-organized with EIT Digital, SEC2SV allowed both sides to increase their social capital on a transatlantic scale.
